Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! AFC Ajax vs AZ — let the football do the talking.
  • 3' A goal from the Netherlands international Donny van de Beek! He fires home on 3 to make it 1-0!
  • 8' The 28-year-old Noussair Mazraoui has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 13' AZ come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 18' Both keepers have barely been tested. AFC Ajax and AZ are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 23' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jonas Svensson, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 28' AFC Ajax are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against AZ's shape.
  • 30' That is a Yellow card for AZ. Oussama Idrissi will be fuming at that decision.
  • 35' The travelling AZ supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 40' AZ seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 45' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 46' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Marko Vejinovic.
  • 48' The deadlock is broken! Kasper Dolberg gets on the scoresheet on 48 minutes.
  • 52' The Netherlands Ricardo van Rhijn breaks the deadlock on 52 minutes. 2-1!
  • 57' AZ make a change. Marko Vejinovic trudges off to be replaced by Pantelis Hatzidiakos on 57 minutes.
  • 60' Time for substitution for AFC Ajax. Kasper Dolberg is replaced by Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
  • 61' A goal from the Morocco international Hakim Ziyech! He fires home on 61 to make it 3-1!
  • 66' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 67' Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 67.
  • 70' David Neres has so much to prove this time. He replaces Daley Blind on 70 minute.
  • 75' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Fredrik Midtsjo made 300 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 80' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Bjorn Maars Johnsen suffering a number of foals already.
  • 81' The AFC Ajax manager makes a substitution. Maximilian Wober departs to be replaced by Perr Schuurs.
  • 83' AFC Ajax receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 83.
  • 84' Assisted by Hakim Ziyech with the perfectly-timed delivery and Dusan Tadic makes no mistake. 4-1!
  • 89' Thomas Ouwejan needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • Full Time. AFC Ajax beats AZ
